While discussing the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, Harris stated that Nelson voted against it. Russert turned to Nelson, who said, "I have no idea what she is talking about." Everyone (Harris, Russert, and the audience) were aghast.

Huh? Was Harris wrong in what she said? I don't get it.

Florida debates? Awful.

First major debate - a PBS liberal asking the questions. Second major debate - an ABC liberal so unprepared he must have gotten his dem "talking points" in the cab on the way to the debate. And now, last night, an NBC liberal.

Two out of three of these so called journalists worked for democrats before they became "objective" members of the MSM.

Change is needed.

It's not fair. Liberal moderators didn't ask my questions, address my concerns, or follow up on the answers I care about.

What would it be like if the tables were turned?

Rove would be the moderator for the first debate.

Rush would moderated the governors debate.

And Brit Hume would run the Harris/Nelson debate.

Would liberals show up for those debates? No, they would not... Dems wouldn't put up with that level of unfairness. Why do we?

Two against one wouldn't work for them. Why does it work for us?

Dems would object if Rove was a moderator, and their friends in the MSM would scream like a stuck pigs for them. We need to object when it's Chris Matthews.

Next time? Next time, demand fairness. No to being double teamed. No to that level of bias. No to both sides answering the questions only liberals care about.

No advantage, just fairness.

She was drawing him out to discuss senior citizen issues in a state with more senior citizens than any other. Nelson was out to lunch.

So, are you saying that Harris has come out against the Prescription Drug plan?

I am saying the sitting senator from FL didn't know what Medicare Part D is. He was not oriented to place or time during the discussion.

Notice all of the others have the two CANDIDATES!

If I were Katherine Harris' campaign manager..or Katherine herself...I would be on the phone to C-Span right away, demanding an explanation....and an apology.

I thought she was brilliant! She wiped the floor with him.

Nelson is the creepiest mutant in politics. I can't believe anyone would vote for him. Russert's quesitons were so biased it was shocking.

You are a personal friend of hers?

He's probably a former staff member, like about 3% of Floridians.

Baloney. The only thing she did wrong was to accept Russert's questions without refuting their premises. Every question he fired at her was loaded and slanted to make her give a quick answer to incredibly complex issues.

His questions to Nelson were variants on: "How do you feel about what the Republicans are doing?"

Since you can't provide intelligent discussion about the FL Senate debate, I'll bet you can locate another thread to trash somewhere else in this forum. ttfn.

I'm just trying to keep a sense of humor about the situation, and it's an approach I strongly recommend when it comes to this particular campaign.
